Description

The TypoScript documentation
http://docs.typo3.org/TYPO3/TyposcriptSyntaxReference/Syntax/TypoScriptSyntax/Index.html
says:
"Since TYPO3 6.2 dots in the object path can be escaped using a backslash."

But this is not working in page.meta.

page.meta {
    DC\.title = Test
    DC\.creator = Test
}

Also it would be very helpful to be able to escape colon for Open Graph meta as well.

page.meta {
    og\:title = Test
    og\:locale = en_GB
}

Hi Jan,

seems we've two separate bugs here.
The dot problem is not a TS problem, but rather a problem of the meta tag generation.

I never tried it, but why is it necessary at all to escape the colon?

Hi Markus,

it is not necessary to excape colons, but it don't get rendered if there is one in the key.

Ok, so actually the bug is that colon is not accepted as key at all. I've to look into that.

OK, maybe we should split this into two bugs and focus here on escaping the dots as this is documented to work in general.
If the documentation says that ist possible to escape dots in object path than this should work in page.meta as well.

page.meta.DC\.title.field = title

Should result in

<meta name="DC.title" content="foo bar">

Yes, I'll file a separate issue about the colon thing, once I took a closer look, what is wrong.

I can confirm the improper handling of dots in the meta tags code.
